The seat of the court is in Melsungen at Kasseler Straße 29 in the former pension building and stables of the Melsung castle . His judicial district includes the cities of Felsberg , Melsungen and Spangenberg (each including all districts) as well as the communities of Guxhagen , Körle , Malsfeld and Morschen (also including all districts).

Responsibilities

The court is responsible for care matters, land register matters, resignations from the church, inheritance matters, civil matters of first instance and criminal matters of the first instance, insofar as these are indicted before the individual or juvenile judge. In addition, as a family court, it is responsible for its judicial district and that of the Fritzlar district court.

It is not responsible for charges before the lay judge or juvenile lay judge's court, registry matters and insolvency matters. The Fritzlar District Court is responsible for this. The district court of Melsungen is not responsible for dunning proceedings either, but the district court of Hünfeld throughout Hesse .

history

In the course of the separation of justice and administration in the Electorate of Hesse with effect from January 1, 1822, the Melsungen Justice Office was set up. Its district consisted of Melsungen, Adelshausen , Albshausen , Büchenwerra , Dagobertshausen , Elfershausen , Ellenberg , Empfershausen , Grebenau , Guxhagen , Kehrenbach , Kirchhof , Körle , Lobenhausen , Malsfeld , Obermelsungen , Ostheim , Röhrenfurth , Schwarzenberg , Wagenfurth and Wollrode from the previous Melsungen office as well as the places Beiseförth and Binsförth from the previous office of Spangenberg .

After the Prussian annexation of Kurhessen in 1866, the court constitution was reorganized. The previous judicial offices were replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance. Thus, the Melsungen judicial office became a district court with the same district.

Initially, this court still belonged to the district of the Rotenburg District Court , but due to the Courts Constitution Act , it came to the district of the newly established Kassel District Court with effect from October 1, 1879 , but the district of the District Court itself remained unchanged.

When the local courts Felsberg and Spangenberg were made branches of the local court Melsungen in 1943, its district expanded

The municipalities of Burghofen, Friemen, Hetzerode, Mäckelsdorf and Schemmern were handed over to the Eschwege District Court on July 1, 1957, and Gehau on July 1, 1968.

The last major changes to the district court district occurred in the course of the regional reform in Hesse . On April 12, 1972, the town of Deute, which now belongs to Gudensberg, became the Fritzlar district court and Stolzhausen, which was incorporated into Waldkappel, became the district court of Eschwege, and on July 1, 1973, the town of Heinebach, which was incorporated into Alheim, became the district court of Rotenburg an der Fulda and that of Wabern Place Niedermöllrich assigned to the Fritzlar District Court. The same thing happened on January 1st, 1974 with the Wabern district of Harle. Finally, on October 1, 1974, the Malsfeld districts of Mosheim and Sipperhausen were separated from the Homberg district court (Efze) and assigned to the Melsungen district court district.

Superior courts

The district court of Kassel is superordinate to the district court of Melsungen .
